Are these usable to mail First Class despite the extra 1/2 inch? I was told by a USPS representative that I would likely be charged package prices.

There are two different types of First Class, First Class envelope (like a standard letter) and First Class package. Thick envelopes would fall under First Class package rates. This may have been what the USPS rep was referring to. This bag would likely fall under First Class package rates depending on what you pack in it (and assuming it is less than 13oz).

I use them all the time to ship first class. As long as it is under 13 oz it is fine. I actually had no idea it was over any measurements and have used them at least 30 times and not once has any one mentuioned that it was too big on my First Class mailings so you should nnot have any issues.

First Class is based on weight. It must be 13 ounces or less. You can always tape up any extra lengths so that there isn't any question about it at the post office if they are going to give you grief about a measurement. We make it a policy to tape up our packages well.

yes, because you can fold it to the size you want. It is better than 1/2" less. We ship it at size smaller than the full size of envelope.

Another answerer mentioned a high shipping charge, but these come with free shipping.

Yes. The envelopes will easily accomodate 8" x 11" paper folded like a regular letter.The postage is one first class stamp for just a letter or a few pages.Really sets off your mailings from the basic white envelope.

I don't know. But try to ask. They might do it for u. But every package I got but one my shipment was ok. Sometimes u might have to get to know ur mail person and get a bond with them because it can some of them who just don't care and toss ur stuff around and get damaged.

No Clue.....they are substantial and were excellent for moving and store.....and if packed properly I'm sure they could accommodate a certain weight. That's the sort of question only the USPS can answer....or UPS can confirm their preferences and recommendations too.

Absolutely, although the free shipping we offer is only for US addresses. These are a bit hefty so shipping up to Canada may run around $20-40 depending on the ship to address.

Yes, I have used these in a mailing machine in the past. It probably depends on the machine.

NO! However, the Company sent me the 4" one's with no extra charge including free shipping, when I contacted them. If I was to need them again, I would contact the company with my concerns first.

No, it only tells you the weight of the package. There are too many options (first class, priority mail, parcel post etc) to tell you how much postage to use.

I can only assume that they are stripped of excess packaging to reduce postal costs. I had no problems with any of these cartridges and will be reordering when I need some more.

We get them in ours. Any letter size package thicker than an inch or so is the max.

Not the square ones or the ones printed at the bottom of envelopes on USPS.The onese that have varying thickness in the bar code work though (serial numbers, upc codes.)

Due to the weight USPS is almost always going to be more expensive than UPS, unless you are located incredibly close to the seller. :) These will ship via UPS the vast majority of the time.

If you are located in the U.S. shipping is $2.98 for the first item and $1.25 for each additional.

Hi, Unfortunately, USPS will not be able to ship due to size restrctions and weight.. Only way to ship this is thru DHL and cost a lot .. Shipping would be $205.00 for both and is not cost effective. rthanks

USPS Express for $20 should work. Or else you can try priority for $6. Contact for specifics.

That is what UPS charges us to ship based on the package dimension. The current discount is more than enough to off set the shipping fee and still money saved. To make it look better I have shift portion of the shipping fee to the price.
